INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

Manuscripts to be considered for publication may be sent to Geomatica as PDF files attached to e-mail messages, addressed to editgeo@magma.ca.

There is a charge to authors of $50 per page for the publication of peer-reviewed papers. CIG members are exempt. (Annual dues for full membership are $140 in Canadian funds + appropriate provincial taxes, and for student members $50 + appropriate provincial taxes. Taxes applies in Canada only, however; outside of Canada, a shipping charge of $40 applies.) There is no charge for the publication of unreviewed articles.

Before sending electronic files of manuscripts submitted for publication as peer-reviewed papers in the Features section of Geomatica, the authors’ names and affiliations must be omitted from the text so the papers are anonymous during review.

Authors’ biographies or photos are not to be included at this stage. An abstract of 100 to 150 words is required. The covering e-mail message, not the manuscript, should then contain the authors’ names and the e-mail address, mailing address, phone number and fax number of the main contact author.

These instructions apply only to the initial submission of papers, articles and other items. Once an item has been reviewed and accepted, more specific instructions are sent to authors to finalize their items for publication. (These are available to anyone on request.) For information, questions or comments, please contact Carol Railer at editgeo@magma.ca or 613-224-9851.
